<h1>FAQ</h1>
<b>How does this work</b><br />
<ul>
<li>The candidates have all filled out our questionaire, 40 statements about Eve Online. This gives us an accurate profile of the vision of each candidate.</li>
<li>When you fill in the questionaire, we compare your answers to the answer profiles in our database.</li>
<li>We display the results which include your match percentage with every candidate, as well as an overview of the questions showing you where you match and where you differ in opinion.</li>
</ul>
<b>Should I vote for whomever has the highest match percentage?</b><br />
You could, but we suggest that you look at the top 5% or even to 10% of your matches in detail. Go to their websites, talk to them ingame and find out what they are all about. It is likely that you will have several high percentage matches that all may be good choices.<br /><br />
<b>How do I know I can trust this website</b><br />
This website is completely transparent in its operation. Candidates can see their own answers at any time, and verify that they have not been tampered with. Users can also see their own answers, and verify that these correspond with the answers they gave in the webform. Additially, this website only advises you on which candidates match your vision most closely. <u>We cannot cast your vote for you.</u><br /><br />
<b>I am a candidate, how can I set up a profile here?</b><br />
We give each candidate a password that allows them to <a href="candidate_login.php">log in</a> and make their answer profile. If you have not received your password from us, please get in touch with Dierdra Vaal.<br /><br />
<b>How is scoring done?</b><br />
Match percentage is based on the difference between the maximum fidelity score you could have (exactly agreeing on every question with a candidate) and the actual fidelity score you have with each candidate. In order to score each question we use the following rules:
<ul>
<li>If you both have the exact same answer (both <i>Stronly Agree</i> or both <i>Disagree</i> for example) it is a strong positive match.</li>
<li>If you both broadly agree (<i>Strongly Agree</i> and <i>Agree</i> or <i>Strongly Disagree</i> and <i>Disagree</i>) it is a weak positive match.</li>
<li>If you mildly disagree (<i>Disagree/Agree</i> vs <i>No opinion</i> or <i>Disagree</i> vs <i>Agree</i>) it is a weak negative match.</li>
<li>If you strongly disagree (<i>Disagree</i> vs <i>Strongly Agree</i> or <i>Strongly Disagree</i> vs <i>Strongly Agree</i> for example) it is a strong negative match.</li>
<li>If the <i>voter</i> does not have an opinion there is a neutral match.</li>
</ul>
<b>Where did the idea come from</b><br />
